PARKS/ RECREATION
Project Type: Sub -Type: PARK IMPROVEMENTS
C
Project Code: Priority:
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS AND/ OR MASTER PLAN:
In 2021, the infields of all four ballfields at the Parks at Texas Star North were replaced with artificial sports turf
to extend the playability of the fields during heavy use and inclement weather.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project scope includes replacing existing synthetic turf at Parks at Texas Star North with new and improved
product. The concrete base and rubber pellet infill can be reused and only the turf material will be replaced.

PROJECT SCHEDULE:

JUSTIFICATION:
The installation of artificial turf at PATS North has been very successful and increased league and tournament
play due to the field durability and the ability to run as many games as possible. While some surrounding
municipal fields closed due to rain, PATS North was able to complete both league and tournament games. With
the use of these fields being exceptional between league and tournament play, the wear and tear on the turf is
tremendous. The life expectancy of artificial turf is approximately ten years, which puts the expected end of
useful life in 2031. In order to avoid the turf becoming unplayable and to continue to program at high level use,
the turf will need to be replaced at or around the ten year mark.
